Americans Separated from their Decency. The country's remaining bit of humanity was forcibly removed last week, and is now being held in an abandoned box store. Allmart. Reporters find questionable conditions. Sometimes by losing your conscience, you win bigly. You're keeping our decency in a cage? No photos! the bible is invoked.

Forced separation from our conscience can cause trauma and even lead to national suicide.

GOP-Care Defended. The AHCA trades people's lives for tax cuts for the wealthy. Who's ok with that? Liberals are all "I'm so afraid of getting sick and dying bankrupting my family." Get over it. I don't mind ritual human sacrifice to hedge fund managers. They've earned it! I don't see why a 60 year-old in Alaska can't just make $30,000/year more to pay for premiums. We are but sinners in the hands of an angry market god. Do not question his will. Maybe people will die, but hey, Trump is keeping his promise to end Obamacare.

Many people seem to view government as a shopaholic of sorts. Families are cutting back. Why can't the guv'mint? Tax and spend! That's all these bureaucrats want to do! Some of these profligate officials agreed to speak with us anonymously. It started when I got a rust our of buying manhole covers. Now I get my fix ordering bridge repairs. Somebody please stop me! I'm sorry, but sending disability checks to people with horrific diseases and injuries is simply too much fun! It's like buying a new flat-screen tv every day! In. Out.

U.S. Democracy Recalled. Just 158 families have given half the funding for the presidential candidates. This means the emissions of the 1% are dangerously high. Today we are recalling the American Electoral Process as it contains a defeat device. With this thing in place, the country isn't going anywhere. Engine of Democracy. $.

Our current system simulates democracy in a lab, but in the real world, it doesn't meet basic standards. Dr. Carla Matlack Political Scientist.

After being delayed by a family illness, I wrote to the head of the rape and abuse center at Carl's university. I have a good reason to believe that one of your recent hires is a rapist. As I had no evidence, my intent was not to punish Carl, or to get him fired, but to urge the university authorities to be vigilant. I told them everything. I will share you emails with the President. I felt good about reporting it. And vindicated. it wasn't until after the phone call that I began talking to people about my experience. I've told maybe five women friends, who were all truly aghast. I also told my songs a couple years ago. Recently I mentioned that my story might be a comic. They thought it was a very cool thing to do, feminists that they are. (This is a long form cartoon.

Is there anything else? Have a great new year! Don't call this number again. Good luck to your family. They will need it. Who was this sicko? How did he get my unpublished number? Was he doing this business from the university where he had just been hired as the dean of students? The fact that he called me at all was an act of aggression. He was a stranger interloping ... reminding me he was still around ... still showing me who was boss ... This time, I had to do something. But what? ? (This is a long form cartoon.

I still didn't feel the need to talk with anyone about it. I hardly thought about Carl. For all I knew, he had forgotten about me. As I found out 33 years after the rape, this was not the case. Mid-2000s. It was a Saturday or Sunday afternoon late in December. My family and I had just returned from grocery shopping. I was picking up oranges that had spilled on the floor when the phone rang. I answered. Strangely, I immediately recognized the voice. Do you know who this is? It's Carl from college! It suddenly felt like three days had passes since the rape, not three decades. Yes, what do you want? ? (This is a long form cartoon. To see next panels, use "Image Number" box at left and enter 124881.)
